Lesson Overview:

We joined our friends Sticks and Stones for another episode of “Calling Sticks and Stones.” See how your child discovered how to embrace God’s calling on their lives by using their special gifts, just like David!

Quest children learned “I Am Able!” from the Bible story about David defeating Goliath. Just like David was able to beat Goliath with his special gifts, children learned that God gives each of us special gifts, too, and we are able to do great things for God!
